Diana interview stirs mixed support for monarchy in Britain
Diana's TV interview for the BBC drew public sympathy for her while signaling a rift with the royal family. A MORI poll shows respect for royals slipped sharply in the 1990s, more than for teachers or social workers, especially among 18 to 24 year olds. The Queen distant, Diana urging closer ties and more contact with the public, as she questions Charles's kingship and supports William's future.
